I walked up to the nature centre while staying with friends. I didn't go in the building but walked around the paths and sat on a bench and enjoyed the stunning views. I will go back and take a look inside. I went in mid April 2023, everything is still brown. The season is late this year. I'd like to see it in the summer when things are growing so that I can see the plants they have identified. I did see a few Marmots!

Not only is this nature centre an interesting and educational facility in a lovely setting with friendly and helpful staff, they also have a great sense of humour! All of their resident marmots were still hibernating February 2nd (Groundhog Day) and so, rather than disturb them for their weather prediction, they had a stuffy do the honours!

Had an awesome party for my 5 year old up there! They were knowledgeable, kind and worked with the kids so well. Great price for an interpretive talk (met the resident turtle Smiley and the corn snake), small craft that was age appropriate, as well as the gazebo space decorated. 2 thumbs up for Justin who checked in frequently to make sure things were going well when he wasn't showing the kids things.

What a treat! I was in town visiting the Caravan Farm Theatre and we decided to take a day trip to the Allan Brooks Nature Centre. It was a lovely morning full of marmots, meadowlarks, hawks and more! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Highly reccomend a visit if you're in the area!

Great indoor area with plenty to see and do. Beautiful scenery, wildlife, plenty of seating and a small play area for kids. Definately worth visiting!

Lovely site, volunteers/staff and introduction to the species and habitats of the Okanagan Valley (and some stunning viewpoints, too). I highly recommend a visit.

Excellent interpretive centre for all ages and abilities to enjoy. Even some live animals! Bookable spaces for private or corporate events. Birthday parties and school tours too. Very cool place and all sorts of grassland animals to checkout. By donation so it's whatever you can afford! You can also see 3 lakes (kal, swan AND okanagan!) from the lookout! It's incredible view is well worth the 5 minute drive from downtown vernon! (Right up the hill from Wholesale club!)

My son had his birthday there today and they did such an AMAZING job! John was super patient and organized with the kids. They had a great birthday set up with a banner and sign! My son and all his friends had so much fun, thank you for a great day!
